This PowerPoint presentation covered the following topics: Overview; participants in the collaboration; the experimental method and Free Precession Method descriptions; and then experimental design elements, ending with a summary. A new nEDM experiment is under development with a goal sensitivity 90% CL σ_d < (3-5) x 10^-28 e-cm in 300 live-days; Free precession method: SQUIDS to read out the ³He precession frequency, Scintillation signal for the n relative precession frequency; Dressed spin method: Strong RF field to match n and ³He effective magnetic moments; Modulation/feedback of dressing parameter based on scintillation signal; and, Ongoing development/demonstration of many aspects of the apparatus (a subset was shown here).
